Which improvement engagement should become a product clients pay for every month?

Tell me about one improvement engagement you've delivered before. In about a minute you'll get its score on the Engagement Pick Scorecard, the product it could become, a sample session on your own method, and the one question to ask three clients before you build anything. Free, no login.

Why the gains fade after handover, in under two minutes.

Your IP is safe with us. We'll never ask for your reports, decks or toolkits, and your answers are never used to train AI models. Just describe the engagement in your own words, and don't paste client names or confidential material. We use your answers only to write your scorecard, send you a copy and follow up. We never share or sell them, and we delete your engagement description from our site after 90 days. Privacy

What your scorecard is built to fix

Three problems after you hand over.

1. You only get paid until handover

The engagement ends, the billed days stop, and the next invoice depends on landing the next project.

The fix, Sell it: Offer a sustain phase to clients you've already helped, before you build anything.

2. The gains fade and leaders move on

The pilot area hits target, you hand over, and the huddles thin out. Lean practitioners call sustaining the hardest step, and once the sponsor moves on, nobody is watching the measures.

The fix, Prove it: A monthly review with their coordinator, a quarterly gemba walk and a results sheet the sponsor actually reads.

3. It never becomes daily work

Only 39% of frontline supervisors say improvement is actually part of their daily work. It still depends on you or a couple of champions.

The fix, Grow it: Coach their coordinator to run it, then step back once the measures hold.
